Ken 119 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 definite shift of power away from the federa/nadal to the djokovic/murrey era On the hardcourt anyway. Besides, Rafael Nadal hasn't had the chance to prove otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken 119 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Is/was Rafa a doper?...is he suffering for it now?... I don't believe it. His game is all power, his joints had to give way sooner or later - I told me dad he'd have all these injuries 4 years ago when he was top of the world. There it is now for all to see.

Ken 119 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 why exactly? He's ran himself into the ground. Compared to the other top players, he could never get half as many cheap points as them which means he ran himself ragged. Running yourself ragged on clay is all right because the surface is soft, but playing the same way on hard court means extra strain on your ankles and knees and sooner or later something must give. Unfortunately for him it has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14637 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Djok 3-2 up, 1st set....the 6th game is phenomanol, break point Murray......Murray serves an ace, Djok appeals, fails. Murray breaks him after Djok plays some unbeleievable tennis in that game. Nailed on 5 sets this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 6887 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Until (and if) Nadal gets back, Federer and Murray will likely to continue to knacker each other out in the Slam semi's and have to meet a more rested Djokovic in finals, and Djokovic is more than enough to handle without any rest advantage etc. Who'd you rather face in a semi: Murray, Federer or Tsonga + bonus extra days rest thrown in when you win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken 119 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Seeding doesn't work like that - meaning 2nd doesn't always meet third seed in the SF's. They could be in opposite ends, a computer sorts that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, that's what I meant about "is more than enough to handle without any rest advantage". He is by some stretch "the best" and doesn't need any help, but because he's unlikely to hit anyone who can take him to five sets (without Nadal) he's sitting pretty for the forseeable. Even then he'll remain a monster to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
